Flag of Denmark under a Republic

Denmark is a minor faction in Empire: Total War.

General Information

Denmark is not very powerful when the game starts. Its top threat is Sweden, which can easily invade Norway and Denmark itself. Prussia is also often an enemy. Hannover is often in war with the nation, so Denmark sometimes has to fight on two or more fronts. Despite its host of problems and enemies, it is rare for Denmark to be eradicated completely, as Iceland is very out of the way and rarely invaded. Should Denmark deal with its initial problems, it can become quite powerful. Norway is very rich in natural resources, and the home region of Denmark hosts a major city, a university, and eventually a very large number of ports for its small size.

It is one of the only minor factions to have a separate flag if it becomes a republic.

Unit Roster

Like Sweden, Denmark's standard horse regiments get a 25-33% manpower boost (depending on the type of cavalry). Denmark has access to Hakkapeliita. Denmark also has the option to recruit Heavy Cavalry, an ability shared only by Great Britain and Sweden among the major nations. Therefore, Denmark can field particularly deadly cavalry with these two combined traits and, like its fellow Scandinavian powers, it can recruit Heavy Cavalry from training centers a tier lower. Otherwise it has the standard European unit roster.
